The act of Dumpster Diving

Is alive and well and in Toronto. This guy uses a Zip Lock bag to keep his find as fresh as the day it was thrown away. Kept cool and fresh in his pocket, in the breeze as he cycles toward the next stop.

Maybe Toronto should help the Homeless a bit more, or is that too easy an answer ??

http://youtube.com/watch?v=K_t2AOpbEAA

Now youths from Up-Top neighbourhoods (Shoreham, Driftwood Court and Gosford Blvd.) do not venture into complexes in the "down bottom" section of Finch Ave. West (Yellowstone, Grandravine and Grassways) ; which are regarded as territory of the Bloods where as complexes north of Finch Ave. West and along Jane Street claim allegiance to the Crips gang. Other note worthy communities are the Palisades and Tobermory.
Have you thought about contacting CBC and combining all your videos into a longer documentary?
